This was pretty sweet bro
Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

We out here with the custom border pfps
There’s meeee!, I’m the luckiest ngrounder in the world!,,

Whuuuuuu that's a lot, it's breaking my brain. Happy to hear that the site is garnering this much monetary support - that's what's keeping us from becoming based on ad revenue, after all.
@CyberNutzFNF Wait, really? You must be lucky then.
I think mine looks pretty cool! c:
row 3 column 5 B)
Awesome! Glad I could have been apart of it.
What I'd like to see is, more new-er current supporters going for those retro badges. ;)
No way! That's me! I'm in there! I couldn't have done it without the anonymous hero that gifted me supporter.
I didn't get added in but that's alright, it was great seeing familiar faces, I was especially happy to see some of the BBS regulars make it in! It was funny seeing the list grow more and more too lol.
Here's hoping we get TONS of supporters this year! <3
Just realized, can anyone find @Bacun in here? I know Bacun was in here before... Wondering if I lost a row at some point.
awh dammit, I was JUST too late to be included on this one
@TomFulp Nah I'm still there, I'm row 4 below the text, below Lime and above Xin
Ahh now I see you there!
By active supporters, do you mean strictly month to month or are the yearly supporters included in that figure? I could probably make the switch to monthly if that's better for Newgrounds.
I think these profile borders are an excellent addition and a step in the right direction! I think adding more ways for supporters to customize their profiles would entice more people to support.
There was a twitter thread a while ago where a few people and myself had discussed being able to better control what's displayed on your profile (custom showcases handpicked by the user or sorted by views/score or something instead of strictly most recent), I think that might be an interesting thing to look into while yall're making changes to the user pages.
Also I really enjoy the larger thumbnails in user upload pages and the ability to sort and search! Keep it up :D
p.s. is there anything on the roadmap regarding newgrounds api?
The total includes yearly supporters but it also includes a lot of single month supporters, who will expire next month.
In terms of what helps NG the most, I like monthly subs because it creates a consistent budget and does pay more over the course of the year. Right now the majority of Supporters have opted for one year vs one month, so before Paypal fees it's the equivalent of $2 per month vs $3 per month.
Most optimal would technically be to volunteer $36 per year for a yearly, which would be what you would pay if you paid monthly but would be less Paypal fees for NG. For every $3 payment, NG receives $2.60 after fees, for every $25 payment we get $23.64 after fees.
We actually default to $5 for the monthly now, with the option to choose $3 and most people still go with three. $5 makes a solid difference, so it's been tempting to eliminate the $3 option and grandfather existing subs. Hard to say how much of a turn-off that would be.
Custom showcase on user pages is definitely something we wanna do. I basically want people to be able to dump the contents of a playlist into a box on their user page, with a limit on how many are shown before you go to the full list for more. This way you could make a playlist called "My Favorite Cat Movies" and turn that into a box right in your userpage.
Adding the ability to make a playlist of playlists would address a recent Xinxin suggestion to be able to sort which playlists are on his page. He could make a Featured Playlists list, pop that in and hide his Latest Playlists box if he doesn't want it there.
With the NG API the next update was gonna be Cloud Saves but no ETA on that at the moment.
There I am Gary, There I am !!!
Happy to support the site anyday!
Thank you for including me! It was a nice surprise.
Tom, this is just the cool kids table in school. And I am proud to be part of it!
Bless u Tom! I had covid, and being on this warmed my heart!
